The issue of the influence of climatic change on water management is a source of controversy. Changes in Poland's water resources calculated with the aid of the CLIRUN-3 model differ in relation to the given climate scenario in terms of both

Possible future growth in Poland's demand for irrigation water is analysed in relation to possible climate change by comparing demand for 1951-1990, estimated on the basis of hydrometeorological data, with that for 1991-2050 determined on the basis

The first part of this paper presents a review of methods used in the formulation of regional climate scenarios, while the next two parts contain an example of a regional climate scenario for Poland based on the output of the ECHAM1/LSG model

This article seeks to achieve 2 aims : - to classify the hydrological regimes of the rivers Rega, Utrata and Soła, representing different climatic and physio-geographical regions of Poland, and - to assess changes in their regimes following

, Central Poland, will be simulated for a number of climate scenarios. An energy balance model for a non-stratified (or weakly-stratified) lake was applied. Reservoir temperature is shown to be highly sensitive to changes in air temperature.

(Pilica catchment in Sulejów, central Poland). The consequence will be an intensification of freshwater eutrophication, of which the most dangerous symptom, especially in reservoirs which supply drinking water, is the appearance of toxic algal blooms.
